Landlord / Tenant
My family and I signed a lease agreement with the father of the homeowner, but the electricity bill for the past three years is in his name. I paid a full deposit of 6.5 lakhs to him, but due to a medical emergency with my wife, we couldn’t move in. I immediately informed the landlord about this and asked to cancel the lease. He’s returned 4 lakhs, but is holding back the remaining 2.5 lakhs, asking for more time. What legal options do I have to recover the remaining amount? How long would this process take, and what are the estimated costs involved?

I paid a Rs 12,000 advance to a landlord for a house I planned to rent, but now I can’t move in due to personal reasons. I informed him, but he’s refusing to return the money. We didn’t sign any agreement, but I have a receipt from the real estate agent. It doesn’t say the advance is non-refundable. Can I do anything legally to get my money back?

My father secured tenancy rights for our family in 2003, and my sister-in-law registered another unit in the same building under tenancy in 2008. In 2012, my friend and I purchased the entire building from the original landlord. Now, we want to grant ownership rights to three of our tenants. What are the legal procedures and potential issues involved in transferring ownership? My father, sister-in-law, and my co-owner’s nephew all have registered documents and paid stamp duties on their respective units.

My shop in Ahmedabad has been rented out for the past 8 years, and I’ve been renewing the lease every 11 months and 29 days. Now I need to get it back, and I gave a 3-month verbal notice. The tenant wants a 6-month notice, saying he can’t find another shop. Do I have any options for getting my shop back quickly? Is there a fast legal process? I heard there’s legal help, but it can take a long time.

A tenant in my shop has only given 2 weeks’ notice before leaving, instead of the agreed 1 month. They also haven’t paid their last month’s rent/electricity bill. They’ve handed over the keys, but I’m left with unpaid bills. I’ve asked them to sign a letter acknowledging this, but they refuse and demand their full deposit back, even after deducting only 2 weeks’ worth of costs. Should I hold onto their deposit until they sign, or pay them what I think is fair and risk being sued? How easy is it for them to win a legal case in this situation?

I moved from Chennai to Indirapuram, Ghaziabad in July 2015. My landlord in Chennai received my notice to vacate in March 2015, and I moved out on June 30th. She only returned ₹4,500 of my deposit, claiming I only paid ₹30,000 as advance, not the ₹40,000 stated in the agreement. I sent her a copy of the agreement as proof, but she won’t respond or talk. Now that I’m in Ghaziabad, can I take any legal action from here? If so, how?

My husband ran a shop without a formal agreement with the owner, but paid rent regularly. Now he’s passed away, and the owner wants to evict his wife. She wants to continue running the shop. Can she stay, or does the owner have the right to evict her? This happened in Birbhum district. Please advise.

My family has lived in this house with a shared roof for over 60 years. I want to create a loft for storage, using existing space within our home. Can I do this without the landlord’s permission? It’s just a way to maximize space within the existing structure, without any additions or changes.

Our 7-room apartment building is facing a serious water crisis. To tackle this, I got the landlord’s permission and installed a 900-liter water tank on the common terrace, costing me around ₹9,000. There’s already a similar 1800-liter tank owned by another tenant, working fine for the last year. Now, another landlord is objecting and demanding the removal of my tank. What can I do to explain my position and keep the tank?

A shop was leased for a year in January 2008. In February, a disagreement arose between the landlord and the tenant. The landlord filed an eviction case in March 2008. The shopkeeper has not paid rent to the landlord since February, and they haven’t paid it in court either.

My lease in Andheri East ends on November 30th and I’m moving out that day. However, my landlord is trying to deduct unnecessary expenses from my security deposit. He’s asking for:1. An extra 15 days’ rent, even though I notified him on November 12th that I wouldn’t renew the lease.2. AC installation costs from the previous tenant, which aren’t mentioned in our current agreement.3. Paint repairs due to roof leaks, claiming it’s not normal wear and tear.4. The cost of two gas cylinders provided to the previous tenant.I’m worried about these charges and need help understanding what’s fair.
